Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	32	But after the term papers, the tests, and the grading of the first semester, I was afflicted with a rather irresistible desire to chuck the British Empire and go for a long, long walk—indeed, even a camping trip in the nearby White Mountains.	10
1	53	It appeared to be a rectangular metal envelope, rather thin, not much larger than the normal envelope one customarily uses for correspondence.	10
1	56	I read, in a rather archaic English script inscribed on the envelope, two words—my name, Tarl Cabot.	10
1	97	Feeling rather foolish, I took out the can opener I had used on the chili can and attempted to force the metal point through the envelope.	10
2	5	There were five narrow windows, not large enough to let a man through; they rather reminded me of ports for bowmen in a castle tower, yet they admitted sufficient light to allow me to recognize my surroundings.	10
2	10	The shield was rather like the old Greek shields on some of the red-figured vases in the London Museum.	10
2	53	He said, I thought rather proudly, "You are my son, Tarl Cabot".	10
2	56	We shook hands, on my part rather stiffly, yet this gesture of our common homeland somehow reassured me.	10
2	74	He looked at me with sadness in his eyes, and his rather stern features seemed for a moment to be tender.	10
2	128	Some of the largest cities have small, rather insignificant Home Stones, but of incredible antiquity, dating back to the time when the city was a village or only a mounted pride of warriors with no settled abode".	10
2	204	"You wonder," he said, "why the numerous, rather obvious deficits in our technology have not been repaired—in spite of the Priest-Kings.	10
2	260	"Yes," he said, "but since the hypothesis of another world is regarded as so incredible, this evidence has been interpreted to accord with other theories; sometimes even imperfections in instrumentation have been supposed rather than admit the presence of another world in our solar system".	10
3	41	Whereas there was a main common tongue on Gor, with apparently several related dialects or sublanguages, some of the Gorean languages bore in sound little resemblance to anything I had heard before, at least as languages; they resembled rather the cries of birds and the growls of animals; they were ...	10
3	49	The translations, of course, are rather literal, and the vocabulary is limited to recognitions of only about 25,000 equivalencies for each language.	10
3	57	Religious matters on this world tend to be rather carefully guarded by the Caste of Initiates, who allow members of other castes little participation in their sacrifices and ceremonies.	10
5	11	He lifted his blue-clad arm in a gesture of farewell—rather sadly, I thought.	10
5	182	Rather than kill the warrior, I loosed the arrow into the wing of his tarn.	10
6	148	The tongue, or rather its stump, flitted in and out of its mouth two or three times, as if the creature could not understand that it was no longer at its disposal.	10
6	172	"Also," said Nar, "she speaks rather loudly for a rational creature, does she not?" "Yes," I said.	10
7	19	And surely I would rather have been a brother to that gentle, rational monster than many of the barbarians I had met on Gor.	10
8	102	Her chin was on her knees, and when she saw me she asked—rather humbly, I thought, "May I clothe myself?" "Surely," I said.	10
9	154	Rather, he suddenly launched a vicious attack, forcing me to defend myself as best I could.	10
10	49	He would have had a man killed rather than risk the loss of a tenth of a tarn disk, so well he knew the codes of his caste.	10
13	47	Rather than risk casting my spear from the safe but unsteady saddle of the tarn, I leaped to the ground, just as the larl, furious that it had been discovered, uttered the paralyzing hunting roar and charged.	10
14	11	If I had had to kill him, I would have done so not with hatred or rancor, but rather with respect.	10
14	49	"Before the sword," he said, "there is no right, no wrong, only fact—a world of what is and what is not, rather than a world of what should be and what should not be.	10
15	136	Marlenus smiled, rather grimly.	10
18	38	The cry, rather forlorn, to lower the wire was echoed along the length of the walls and from tower to tower.	10
19	22	He had brought his tarn to flight and was descending to the streets below to rally the dispirited citizens of Ar, to call them again to arms, to challenge them to renounce the treacherous authority of the self-seeking Initiates, to strike again their blow for freedom, to die rather than yield their ...	10

Book 2. (19 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	6	Young Cabot was rather tall, a good-sized man, well-built, with an animal ease in his walk that perhaps bespoke the docks of Bristol, his native city, rather than the cloisters of Oxford, at one of whose colleges he had obtained his later education.	10
1	9	His hair, lamentably perhaps, though some of us loved him for it, was red, but not merely red—it was rather a tangled, blazing affront to the proprieties of the well-groomed academician.	10
8	17	The purpose, incidentally, of the brief garment of the female slave is not simply to mark out the girl in bondage but, in exposing her charms, to make her, rather than her free sister, the favored object of raids on the part of roving tarnsmen.	10
8	60	Even the horizontal plains about Tharna, marked by their occasional outcroppings of weathered boulders, seemed to be gray, rather cold and gloomy, perhaps sad.	10
8	80	I had answered him rather directly.	10
9	88	What struck me most about them had nothing to do with caste, but rather their lack of spirit.	10
10	87	There were several exits, most of them rather small, barred apertures.	10
12	117	"Yes," she said, "but I do not care, for I would rather wear the camisk and have felt his kiss, than live forever behind my silver mask".	10
13	145	As I stood there in the center of the arena, alone, silent, aloof, not seeming to hear them, those hundreds, rather thousands, who wore the silver masks understood that their will had been spurned, that this creature alone on the sand beneath them had thwarted their pleasure.	10
14	168	I found that the goad, with this monster at least, did not improve but rather impaired his performance.	10
14	180	There was Andreas of Tor, of the Caste of Singers, young, valiant, irrepressible, his hair wild like the mane of a black larl, who would rather die than try to kill me, condemned to the Amusements or the mines of Tharna.	10
15	245	I thought she seemed a lonely figure, rather forlorn and sad.	10
16	53	"Are my terms satisfactory to you?" asked the Tatrix, rather condescendingly, I thought.	10
17	19	They would strangle one of their fellows who thought of rebellion, rather than risk the flooding of the chamber.	10
20	54	The full expression is En'Kara-Lar-Torvis, which means, rather literally, The First Turning of the Central Fire.	10
20	58	As might be expected there are related expressions for the months of the solstices, En'Var-Lar-Torvis and Se'Var-Lar-Torvis, or, again rather literally, The First Resting and the Second Resting of the Central Fire.	10
21	37	He was a grizzled man, rather heavy, sweating, blind in one eye.	10
21	47	The brand itself, in the case of girls, is a rather graceful mark, being the initial letter of the Gorean expression for slave in cursive script.	10
24	154	If Dorna the Proud had ruled upon that rampart rather than Thorn, a Captain, and a member of my own caste, I was certain that a bolt from some crossbow would have pierced my body without warning.	10

Book 3. (56 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
6	31	I felt, for some months, rather awkward, rather unsteady perched on a little wooden platform supported by four narrow sticks.	10
7	38	Probably her caste had been that of the Builders or Physicians, for had her people been Scribes I would have expected a greater subtlety of inflections, the use of less common grammatical cases; and had her people been of the Warriors I would have expected a blunter speech, rather belligerently simp...	10
26	68	Rather I looked rather sternly down into her eyes and said simply, "What I wished".	10
1	45	I do not hold this against the contests of scribes; rather I commend it to the members of my own caste.	10
2	47	Some of these were obscene, cursing the Priest-Kings; others were paeans in their praise; some were cheerful, if in a rather pessimistic way.	10
2	50	Others were rather simple, and sometimes sad, such as "No food," "I'm cold," "I'm afraid".	10
2	114	I wished the cliff were on my left rather than my right in order to have a freer cast of my spear.	10
3	45	How did I know what might lie before me in that dark, quiet passage? As I hesitated for that moment, I became aware of a motion inside the passage, which gradually became a white-clad rather short, rotund figure.	10
5	205	Her eyes regarded me, rather boldly I thought, as though inviting me to exercise my authority over her, to address to her any command I might see fit, a command which she of course would have no choice but to obey.	10
6	32	Perhaps if you can imagine yourself suddenly being forced to sit on rather high end tables you can sense the feeling.	10
8	77	It would be, in a way, a shame to destroy them, for they were rather beautiful.	10
8	136	So I thought to myself, I had placed her accent rather well, either Builders or Physicians, and had I thought carefully enough about it, I might have recognized her accent as being a bit too refined for the Builders.	10
11	112	On the receipt of this information Sarm did not shake nor did his antennae curl; rather the bladelike structures snapped out and back, and his antennae twitched in irritation.	10
12	106	I had intended my remark to be rather vicious but Sarm took no offense.	10
12	149	"By the Priest-Kings!" I roared, the rather blasphemous Gorean oath slipping out, somehow incongruously considering my present location and predicament.	10
12	246	"I too am human," said the other, looking at me rather directly.	10
13	21	With respect to the rather complex syllabary, I originally supposed that it had never been simplified because the Priest-King, with his intelligence, would absorb the four hundred and eleven characters of his syllabary more rapidly than would a human child his alphabet of less than thirty letters, a...	10
13	27	It would never occur to them that nature is ultimately simple, and if they found it so they would be rather disappointed.	10
13	28	They view nature as a set of interrelated continua rather than as a visually oriented organism is tempted to do, as a network of discrete objects which must be somehow, mysteriously, related to one another.	10
13	31	The Priest-King, for all his intelligence, tends to be fond of established patterns, at least in basic cultural matters such as Nest mores and language, subscribing to them however not because of genetic necessity but rather a certain undoubtedly genetically based preference for that which is comfor...	10
13	37	Down the hall running towards us, not frantically but rather deliberately, at a steady pace, came a young human female, of perhaps eighteen years of age, with shaved head and clad in the brief plastic tunic of a Mul.	10
14	3	The room was rather large, bleak and coated with plastic.	10
14	103	I had naturally supposed the fluid to be simply water which it closely resembled in appearance, and once had tried to fill my bowl for the morning meal there, rather than ladling the water out of the water pan.	10
14	106	Misk and I got on rather well together after a few small initial frictions, particularly having to do with the salt ration and the number of times a day the washing-booth was to be used.	10
14	116	I myself grew rather fond of Misk.	10
15	42	These spheres in turn were connected by slender, woven cables of wire to a large, heavy boxlike assembly, made of steel and rather squarish, which was set on wheels.	10
15	45	I held the torch high and looked at the Priest-King, who was rather small for a Priest-King, being only about twelve feet long.	10
15	142	"But will he continue to learn later?" "Of course," said Misk, "but he will build on a rather complete knowledge of what his ancestors have learned in the past.	10
16	68	"His name was Nar," I said, "and he would rather have died than injure a rational creature".	10
17	27	The occurrence of the expression on Sarm's translator tape, simple as it was, indicated that he had gone to a good deal of trouble, and that the matter, for some reason, was rather important to him.	10
17	97	The lens was apparently parallel to rather than above the scene.	10
17	125	Rather the magnification was suddenly increased and the air became suddenly filled with more intense odors.	10
18	63	I had been wondering if such a turn was possible with a transportation disk and I was rather pleased with myself that I had accomplished it.	10
19	64	Rather than reveal this information he would undoubtedly prefer that I hack away at doomed Misk as though he were a block of insensate fungus.	10
20	35	He was really rather good with the disk.	10
20	237	"No," said Mul-Ba-Ta rather firmly.	10
21	49	The feet had no toes but were rather disklike, fleshy cushions on which they padded silently along, and similarly on the palms of their wide hands there seemed to be a fleshy disk, which glistened in the blue light of the Mul-Torches.	10
22	91	Misk drew himself up to his proud, almost eighteen feet of height, save that he inclined slightly forward from the vertical, and fixed on us with his antennae what I had come to recognize in the last few weeks as a look of rather patient, gentle reproach.	10
25	100	At last we came to an opening which gave onto something of the sort for which I was looking, a rather small complex of buildings, where I saw several Muls at work but no Priest-Kings.	10
26	24	I was rather pleased with the discovery of the network of ventilator shafts, for it suggested to me almost a private and extensive highway to any place in the Nest I might wish to reach.	10
26	123	I smiled, but rather grimly.	10
27	14	I assured him I would give the matter serious consideration and departed, hearing him congratulate me on my good fortune in having been permitted to become a Mul rather than having to remain a lowly Matok.	10
28	76	She looked rather at me.	10
28	123	After some minutes I said to her, rather sternly, "I have no time for this," and she laughed and stepped back.	10
28	168	The fiery blasts of the silver tubes would wither and wrinkle the plastic but unless the exposure were rather lengthy they could not penetrate it.	10
28	219	I am afraid it was rather primitive, except that the principles on which it operated were far more advanced than anything now available to Earth's, as I now understand, somewhat painfully rudimentary science.	10
28	234	Misk would pilot the craft upon occasion but it was, in fact, rather cramped for him and he could not stand within it, a fact that bothered him no end for a Priest-King, for some reason, becomes extremely agitated when he cannot stand.	10
29	66	Rather they continued to concentrate on their instruments.	10
29	155	Once I bumped the craft rather severely into the wall of the complex and I could see the explosion of an energy bulb outside through my makeshift port, but I soon managed to bring the ship down safely.	10
30	175	He apparently became rather fond of the new female Mul and, upon occasion, he would order her to groom him in my presence, a task which she seemed to enjoy.	10
31	64	I looked at Al-Ka and Ba-Ta rather closely.	10
31	189	Rather to my wonder the bar of steel lowered and Sarm seemed frozen suddenly in an attitude of the most rapt perception.	10
32	77	I would have liked to have seen once more the surface of the world, the blue sky, the green fields beyond the black Sardar, but rather I said, "I choose to remain here with Misk, who is my friend".	10
32	282	And he added, rather sadly I thought, "And such was her mother".	10
33	4	The speed of our return journey was not due primarily to the fact that we were now on the whole descending, though this helped, but rather to the gravitational reduction which made it possible for me, Vika in my arms, to move with a swift disregard for what, under more normal conditions, would have ...	10
33	46	He was a tall man, rather heavy, with bland soft features, but his voice was very deep and would have been quite impressive in one of the temples of the Initiates, constructed to maximize the acoustical effects of such a voice.	10

Book 4. (88 results) Nomads of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
8	415	For some reason this wench seemed to me rather arrogant, rather contemptuous.	10
12	214	One of the instruments was an eight-stringed czehar, rather like a large flat oblong box; it is held across the lap when sitting cross-legged and is played with a horn pick; the other was the kalika, a six-stringed instrument; it, like the czehar, is flat-bridged and its strings are adjusted by mean...	10
21	299	Moreover, his hair was red—like a larl from the sun—whereas yours is a rather common and, if I may say so, a rather uninspired black".	10
1	26	Briefly, for those it might interest, all directions on the planet are calculated from the Sardar Mountains, which for the purposes of calculating direction play a role analogous to our north pole; the two main directions, so to speak, in the Gorean way of thinking are Ta-Sardar-Var and Ta-Sardar-Ki...	10
2	72	In the thinking of the Wagon Peoples it is called the Omen Year, though the Omen Year is actually a season, rather than a year, which occupies a part of two of their regular years, for the Wagon Peoples calculate the year from the Season of Snows to the Season of Snows; Turians, incidentally, figure...	10
5	24	She wore the Turian collar, rather than the common slave collar.	10
5	45	Another frequently heard expression is Sa-Fora, a compound word, meaning, rather literally, Chain Daughter, or Daughter of the Chain.	10
7	3	The hundred, rather than eight, bosk that drew his wagon had been unyoked; they were huge, red bosk; their horns had been polished and their coats glistened from the comb and oils; their golden nose rings were set with jewels; necklaces of precious stones hung from the polished horns.	10
7	69	The interrogation, to my surprise, was conducted largely by Kamchak, rather than Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
7	95	He spoke to her, rather than the man she knew, the head of the department, whom she had seen often.	10
7	97	Rather he told her to stand and straighten herself.	10
8	27	I originally regarded the Omen Year as a rather pointless institution, but I came to see later that there is much to be said for it: it brings the Wagon Peoples together from time to time, and in this time, aside from the simple values of being together, there is much bosk trading and some exchange ...	10
8	65	My own thrust had been a full thrust, accurate enough but rather heavily done; in war, such a thrust might have lost me the lance, leaving it in the body of an enemy.	10
8	87	Kamchak, that night, chained Elizabeth Cardwell in his wagon, rather than beneath it to the wheel, running a short length of chain from a slave ring set in the floor of the wagon box to the collar of her Sirik.	10
8	94	He did, however, regard Miss Cardwell's responses as rather peculiar, and somewhat reprehensible.	10
8	159	Kamchak made her walk back and forth once or twice, and spoke to her rather sharply about her posture, then, to the surprise of both Miss Cardwell and myself, he did not chain her, but told her she might walk about the camp unattended, warning her only to return before dusk and the release of the he...	10
8	204	To my amazement Elizabeth Cardwell, too, seemed rather pleased with the whole thing, though for what reason I could scarcely understand.	10
8	224	She was a very exciting, vital, proud girl and the tiny golden nose ring, against her brownish skin, with her flashing dark eyes, did not detract from her considerable but rather insolent beauty.	10
8	561	For some reason she did not seem afraid but rather, to my mind, incomprehensibly infuriated.	10
8	582	Elizabeth stood facing me, not frightened, but seemingly rather put upon.	10
8	608	The girl had been swallowing it, rather than show she had been struck.	10
8	619	Elizabeth Cardwell, for some reason, looked at me in fury, rather than Kamchak.	10
9	3	It was somewhat surprising to me that Kamchak and I, being in our way ambassadors of the Wagon Peoples, were entertained in the house of Saphrar, the merchant, rather than in the palace of Phanius Turmus, Administrator of Turia.	10
9	71	These were brought as gifts to the Turians, largely as a rather insolent gesture on the part of the Wagon Peoples, indicating how little they cared for such things, that they would give them to Turians.	10
9	122	The free women, shamelessly to the mind of the rather prudish Kamchak, lowered their veils and threw back the hoods of their Robes of Concealment, enjoying the feast, eating with much the same Gorean gusto as their men.	10
9	134	In donning the camisk the girl will tie the camisk behind the back of her neck; the rather vertical bar then falls before her, and she will then pull it to the sides, and tie it behind her back, this providing some shielding, though not much, for the beauty of her bosom; the farther part of the bar,...	10
9	379	"How do you know," she said, rather airily, "I have not seen it".	10
9	485	"To see her walk," remarked Kamchak, rather loudly, "one would hardly suspect that she wears the collar of a slave".	10
10	13	These, like Kamchak, rode rather near their respective standard bearers.	10
10	439	It was not that Kamchak was particularly short, but rather that Kamras was a very large man.	10
10	453	The fact that the saber is not a common weapon of Wagon Peoples is a reflection of the style, nature and conditions of warfare to which they are accustomed, a matter of choice on their part rather than the result of either ignorance or technological limitation.	10
10	555	In this chase, rather undignified, Kamras had struck a dozen times and each time, astoundingly, the off-balance Kamchak, holding his sword now like a physician's pestle, had managed somehow to meet the blow.	10
10	582	Rather he threw the sword he carried into the sand and though he threw it easily it slipped through almost to the hilt.	10
11	131	I had rather come to admire her.	10
11	175	In some years I knew the percentages were rather the other way about.	10
11	233	Kamchak, as he often did, was sitting on what resembled a gray rock, rather squarish, except that the corners tended to be a bit rounded.	10
11	238	It was rather leathery and had a grained surface.	10
11	273	"You," said Kamchak, glaring at Elizabeth, "you stupid little barbarian—you cannot even dance!" Elizabeth looked down, confused, rather shamed.	10
11	338	He then got up and walked rather heavily over to one wall of the wagon and took a slave whip from the wall.	10
11	380	"Surely," she said, "you will lock me in slave bracelets and chain me tonight?" "But it is rather early," pointed out Kamchak.	10
12	55	They seemed rather excited.	10
12	73	Each seemed rather excited and happy, their bickering notwithstanding.	10
12	178	"Would you rather wear diamonds or the camisk?" he asked.	10
12	209	The Tuchuks, of course, were most in evidence, sitting cross-legged in circles rather about a large fire near the center of the enclosure.	10
12	232	He had rather good seats, which hadn't been there before, obtained by the Tuchuk method of finding two individuals sitting closely together and then sitting down between them.	10
12	249	Moreover, after the first day or two he had hardly cuffed the girl, though he had once beaten her rather severely when she had dropped a cup.	10
12	251	I smiled rather grimly to myself and took a significant swallow of paga.	10
12	260	We had slept late that day and finally when Kamchak managed to be up and around, after a late breakfast served rather slowly by Elizabeth, and had recollected Aphris and had opened the end of her sleeping quarters and she had crawled out backward and had begged, head to boot, to be allowed to draw w...	10
13	207	She could now handle the language rather well.	10
14	23	It was better, I knew, for her to be secured as she was rather than chained in the wagon, or even to the wheel.	10
14	32	Rather, to my astonishment, he rode before them all, racing his kaiila to the center of the line where some five or ten warriors, on kaiilaback, waited.	10
15	134	"Is he the smallish fellow, rather fat, with two yellow teeth?" "Yes," I said.	10
16	26	It was a rather wide well, perhaps about fifteen feet in width.	10
16	80	"Rather far," he said.	10
16	88	"The darkness," I said, "will conceal somewhat the wetness of our garments—and by the time we arrive we may be rather dry".	10
16	113	I told myself it might be better, even, to come to the House of Saphrar late, rather than possibly before the twentieth hour.	10
16	205	"A man met me," said Saphrar, "a tall man—rather dreadful actually—with a face as gray as stone and eyes like glass".	10
16	248	My aunt used to examine my knuckles each evening and when they were skinned—which was not seldom—I trooped away to bed with honor rather than supper.	10
17	7	Besides the designs there were also, growing from planting areas recessed here and there in the marble walkway, broad-leafed, curling plants; vines; ferns; numerous exotic flowers; it was rather beautiful, but in an oppressive way, and the room had been heated to such an extent that it seemed almost...	10
17	53	I then became aware that the steam that rose from the pool did so periodically, rather than continuously.	10
18	38	I pushed now, with all my might, not toward the edge of the marbled basin, but rather toward the deepest part of the pool.	10
18	48	As it had risen toward the surface, just beneath which it now rested, its pigmentation had changed from a luminescent white to a rather darkish gray.	10
19	36	Besides several of the flower trees there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its assemblage of Tur-Pah, a vinelike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves o...	10
19	93	"I rather like this one," he said, taking a bite out of the fruit, spitting some seeds to the rug.	10
19	103	He then gave the girl a short, swift kick, not to hurt her, but simply, rather rudely, to startle her awake.	10
19	202	I was forced to admit that he had handled the whole affair rather neatly.	10
21	62	I found a rather small gate in the wall, heavily barred, and begged admittance to show my wares to Saphrar.	10
21	214	I would rather have expected Kamchak to have stood before the walls of Turia, his kaiila saddled, his arrows at hand, until the winds and snows had at last driven him, the Tuchuks, the wagons and the bosk away from the gates of the beleaguered city, the nine-gated, high-walled stronghold of Turia, i...	10
22	17	Do not take me wrong—I am rather fond, on the whole, of my hair—it is merely that one must, to be objective about such matters, recognize that it has, from time to time, involved me in various difficulties—beginning about my fourth year.	10
22	32	I then wished to proceed immediately to the palace of Phanius Turmus, where Kamchak had set up his headquarters, to place myself at his disposal, but Harold insisted rather on trooping about the city, here and there examining pockets of Turian resistance.	10
23	49	I had noted, to my satisfaction, that he now handled the tarn rather well.	10
23	205	I was told by a Tuchuk woman that they had not been in the cage when the Paravaci had struck—but rather that Aphris had been in the wagon and the barbarian, as she referred to Miss Cardwell, had been sent to another wagon, the whereabouts she did not know.	10
24	40	Still I was not altogether satisfied, for, on the whole, it seemed to me that Turia might yet have survived even had Kamchak's forces wrought much greater destruction than they had—for example, opening but a single gate and permitting only a few hundred, rather than thousands to escape the ci...	10
24	76	"You are perhaps going to sleep on the back of a bosk—because you are a Tuchuk or something?" I thought that a rather good one, at any rate for me.	10
24	124	"It would have been rather difficult to get near the gates of Turia for a fellow wearing the Courage Scar, would it not?" "Indeed it would," I laughed.	10
25	133	"I do not suppose it would do to tell you," I remarked, "but actually the ring is rather attractive".	10
25	146	"Above the door," she said, adding, rather pointedly, "just beyond my reach".	10
25	164	I could scarcely believe that the proud creature who stood chained before me was she whom Kamchak and I had referred to as the Little Barbarian; whom I had been able to think of only as a timid, simple girl of Earth, a young, pretty little secretary, one of nameless, unimportant thousands of such in...	10
25	548	"I will do anything rather than that," she said.	10
25	611	"I think it might be rather pleasant to have a male slave".	10
26	73	Rather, to my astonishment, a gate of the compound itself opened and wary men-at-arms, their weapons ready, each carrying a cloth sack, emerged.	10
26	233	"I think rather it is worthless".	10
26	495	I recalled Kamchak sitting on the gray, rather squarish, grained thing with the rounded corners.	10
26	500	"Even," I said, "did you dare to sit upon it!" "I shall hope," chuckled Kamchak, "that the Priest-Kings will take no offense, but understand that such little bits of acting—rather well carried off, I think—were important parts of my deception".	10
26	526	"It is hard to outwit a Tuchuk in a bargain," remarked Harold, turning back, rather confidently.	10
26	529	"The tumits run best this time of year rather toward the Cartius," observed Kamchak.	10
27	18	Beside me, clad not Kajir but in the brief leather of one of the Wagon Girls, though collared, stood Elizabeth Cardwell; similarly attired and collared, I noted, standing a bit behind Harold of the Tuchuks, I saw the fiery Hereena; she was perhaps the only one of all the girls of the Wagon Peoples t...	10

Book 5. (78 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	81	The Player, as I have mentioned, was rather old, not extremely old but rather old.	10
5	739	On the other side of the belt, there hung a slave goad, rather like the tarn goad, except that it is designed to be used as an instrument for the control of human beings rather than tarns.	10
11	179	The girl on the left had her hair cut rather short; the slavers would, in all probability, not permit her to continue to wear her hair in that fashion; her face was delicate, fragile, rather thin and intellectual; her body was thin; I expected her new masters would put some weight on her; her eyes w...	10
16	137	Virginia seemed rather grateful, and knelt quite close to Relius, who sat on the tier; in a moment she felt his arm about her shoulders and thus they watched race after race, or seemed to watch the race, for often I observed them looking rather more at one another.	10
19	77	I saw no merchandise in my passage through the rear halls of the Curulean; the girls are generally kept, prior to their sale, in holding cells, lit by energy bulbs, beneath the ground level; soon, however, I was passing by the exposition cages, which are accessible to the public; these cages were no...	10
24	124	The hair of the female state slave of Ar, incidentally, is normally cut rather short and brushed back around the head; the common slave girl, on the other hand, normally has rather long hair, which is unbound.	10
3	61	The Player was a rather old man, extremely unusual on Gor, where the stabilization serums were developed centuries ago by the Caste of Physicians in Ko-ro-ba and Ar, and transmitted to the Physicians of other cities at several of the Sardar Fairs.	10
3	84	The most startling thing to me about the man was not that he was older than one commonly sees in the streets of a Gorean city, but rather that he was clearly blind.	10
3	119	To my surprise, the Player chose the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two, which seemed to me rather defensive, and surely cost him the possibility of a dangerous but promising counterattack, which would eventually, if all went well, culminate with his second tarnsman at his opponent's I...	10
3	130	At one or two points I noted the Player had made subtly ineffective moves, apparently sound but yet leaving weaknesses which could be, even four or five moves in the future, exploited rather decisively.	10
4	66	His crime, if he had had one, was that his build was rather like mine, and his hair, in the shadows, the half-darkness of the lamps and the three moons of Gor, might have seemed to one who watched like mine.	10
5	13	There are a number of other forms of lock also found upon occasion, a common variety being the disk lock in which moving disks, rather than pins, are used.	10
5	170	There was rather only a set of odors, secreted from his signal glands, picked up by the translator and transduced into mechanically reproduced Gorean words, each spoken separately, none with emotion.	10
5	221	He is permitted complete freedom of movement by these bands, which are rather like bracelets and anklets.	10
5	237	Elizabeth had agreed but was startled when placed on a long table, actually of a size for a Priest-King, and found her head enclosed between two curved, intricate devices, rather like two halves of a bowl.	10
5	242	Accordingly we developed this device, not too difficult with the single, rather simple brain of the human, which so orders the brain that it can recognize letters, in various forms, and words.	10
5	362	"It is rather," said Misk, "that they enjoy killing".	10
5	528	Elizabeth slapped him rather hard and he staggered back.	10
5	542	The girl screamed but no one came to her aid, and Elizabeth spun her about, peeling off layers of Robes of Concealment until, in a heavy pile of silk, brocade, satin and starched muslin the girl stood in a sleeveless, rather brief orange tunic, attractive, of a sort sometimes worn by free women in t...	10
5	546	"Well," she said, "you are rather beautiful, aren't you?" The free woman stopped wailing.	10
5	626	It was intelligent, intricate, rather aesthetically done and, here and there, in little bendings and loopings, playful.	10
5	638	Also, as she was, legally, having submitted in the House of Cernus, a slave girl, any small thing she had or could do which was her own was doubtless rather precious to her.	10
6	41	The food at the table of Cernus was good, but it was plain, rather severe, like the master of the House.	10
7	119	I suspected rather that in some of these boxes at least might be goods from the ships of Others, transported by way of Earth, in ships to be piloted by men.	10
8	24	I seized her wrist, and she kicked at me, catching me a rather good one under the knee.	10
8	68	"I grew rather fond of it, too," said Elizabeth, "after a time".	10
9	62	Both, interestingly, wore long, rather graceful white gowns, and had their hair bound back with bands of white silk.	10
10	35	"I see your training has not begun even yet," I said, rather sternly.	10
11	4	Other rows of cells were rather more ornate, with heavy intricate grillwork taking the place of bars, hung with red silks, floored with furs and perhaps lit by a small tharlarion-oil lamp set in a barred recess.	10
11	6	The expression "The Iron Pens," incidentally, generally refers to all of the subterranean retention facilities in the house of a slaver, not simply cages, but pits, steel drums, wall chains and such; it is the name of an area, on the whole, rather than a literal description of the nature of the only...	10
11	21	Their food and water areas were protected from the wall of bars shared with the next cage, which might contain male slaves, by a heavy iron mesh rather like that of the flooring, riveted by hammer to the bars.	10
11	311	"Have you not noticed," asked Flaminius, "the men of this world? Do they seem like those of Earth to you?" He pointed to the guard, who was a tall, strong fellow, rather hard-looking.	10
11	323	I do think, of course, that the Gorean population tends to be more physically fit and mentally acute than that of Earth, but I would rate them provisionally rather than essentially superior in these respects; for example, Goreans live much out of doors and, as a very natural thing, celebrate the bea...	10
12	106	The winning perch, or the first perch after the race, is that closest to the stands, rather than that closest to the dividing wall, the inside perch, which is first with respect to the beginning of the race, most desirable at the beginning, least desirable at the end.	10
12	134	The flight track itself, of course, is rather like a narrow, aerial rectangle with two rounded ends.	10
12	153	The garments had rather large sleeves and fastened with a cord under the chin.	10
12	267	"Sura is right," he said, rather too agreeably.	10
13	16	Rather she would be returned for ransom.	10
13	26	Further, abducting a wench from the Hinrabians, if a rather arrogant gesture, would not have brought Marlenus closer to the throne of Ar, nor would it have much hurt the city.	10
13	35	"It would be amusing," said she, rather bitterly, "if whoever captured her would collar her, and keep her as a slave".	10
13	43	Beneath the toweling Nela wore nothing; about her neck, rather than the common slave collar, she, like the other bath girls, wore a chain and plate.	10
13	134	"I hope," said Nela, kneading my flesh rather harder than was necessary, "Claudia Tentia Hinrabia is made a slave".	10
13	197	He had a rather heavy, squarish face, large considering his size.	10
13	199	"I see you now wear the red of the Warrior," said he, "rather than the black of the Assassin".	10
13	279	I wondered why the bird, as is usual, it now being rather old, surely past its racing prime, had not been destroyed.	10
13	287	The major difference is the tautness of the reins between the two rings; the racing saddle, on the other hand, is only a slip of leather compared to the common tarn saddle, which is rather large, with saddle packs, weapon sheaths and paired slave rings.	10
13	292	On the racing saddle there are two small straps, rather than the one large strap on the common saddle; both straps fasten about the rider and to the saddle, in a sense each duplicating the work of the other; the theory is that though smaller straps can break more easily the probability of both strap...	10
15	128	Ar lies in Gor's northern hemisphere; it is rather low in her temperate latitudes; the long cold rains of the winter, the darkness of the days, the occasional snows, turning to black slush in her streets, depressed me.	10
15	187	Phyllis, it seemed, to Elizabeth's amusement, had actually, on Earth, been a rather serious, ardent feminist.	10
15	218	Later, when the girls became reasonably proficient at Gorean, they were permitted the freedom of the House baths, which they enjoyed, and the liberty to move about the House rather as they pleased, saving that they must be locked in their cells by the eighteenth bar.	10
15	221	By the end of the twelfth week of their training they were eating well, and by the end of the fifteenth, very well, generally low-calorie foods, nourishing, a good amount of protein, diets supervised as carefully as those of racing tarns or hunting sleen; Elizabeth was the only girl who had, so to s...	10
15	233	By the twentieth week of their training the girls could converse rather adequately in Gorean, and Virginia and Phyllis continued to improve.	10
15	311	"And," I said, rather loudly, looking at Phyllis, "were the slave Phyllis not White Silk she would have found herself used frequently, and well, by the man Ho-Sorl".	10
15	314	"The slave Phyllis," I said, rather loudly again, "has learned much from Mistress Sura".	10
15	370	It was rather late in the evening, but Cernus had remained long at table, playing game after game with Caprus the Scribe.	10
15	386	Elizabeth, Virginia and Phyllis had been shown its rudiments, as well as something about the lyre, but they had not been expected to become proficient, nor were they given the time to become so; if their master, at a later date, after their sale, wished his girls to possess these particular attribut...	10
15	387	The slave girl sitting on the furs, for the kalika is played either sitting or standing, bent over her instrument, her hair falling over the neck of it, lost in her music, a gentle, slow melody, rather sad.	10
16	117	That seemed rather bold for the timid Virginia Kent.	10
16	187	Ho-Sorl did not beat her but rather, after removing the slave bracelets from the railing of the ramp and from her wrist, putting the bracelets in his belt, simply pulled her to her feet.	10
16	191	Rather he looked about on the ramp until he found the small coin he had given her to buy him bread and honey, which coin she had dropped when the four men had seized her.	10
17	153	After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...	10
17	297	At this point Virginia Kent put down her pitcher of wine, seized Lana by the shoulder, spun her about and struck her a rather severe blow near the left eye.	10
17	308	"It seems I am not going to be served," said Relius, as though rather bored with the whole matter.	10
17	338	"Kajuralia!" "Kajuralia," mumbled Caprus, rather depressed, making the first essential move, but now without zest.	10
17	379	"You are rather fat," he said.	10
18	378	"There is too much paga there for one prisoner," mumbled the guard, rather groggily.	10
19	69	I would suppose that the Slavers, many of them sophisticated, rather cosmopolitan men, who come to Ar from many distant cities, must find such mosaics delightful; I am sure they have seen similar representations in their own cities, only there it is perhaps a wench of Ar who kneels, frightened, obed...	10
19	70	How seriously the men of Gor understand these representations depends doubtless on the man; but even those who, upon reflection, laugh at them, I have found, do generally regard the women of other cities rather differently than they regard their own, thinking of them almost automatically, particular...	10
19	141	In a rather brief amount of time Verbina was auctioned to a young Warrior for seven gold pieces.	10
19	218	Their black cloaks were rather like ponchos with hoods, save that there were slits through which their arms emerged.	10
19	273	The three girls then stood rather together, Elizabeth somewhat forward, the other two a bit behind and flanking her; then they were led on their chains again about the block.	10
20	154	Rather, to the wonderment of all, she let her hand drop.	10
20	296	Through the entryway, rather angrily, strode a young man, perhaps no more than eighteen or nineteen years of age, with piercing eyes and incredibly striking features; he wore the garb of the Player, but his garb was rich and the squares of the finest red and yellow silk; the game bag over his left s...	10
21	217	I rather admired his performance.	10
21	306	One man lunged for me, but stumbled across another fallen Taurentian and his fellow, moving forward, fell across him; rather than attack the men who had fallen, on whom the attack would be expected, I struck the remaining man, he standing, the leader, engaging him singly in the moment and felling hi...	10
24	123	One of the decrees of Marlenus, uttered at his victory feast, yesterday evening, to rounds of drunken cheers and applause, had been to decree a two-hort, approximately two and one-half inch, heightening of the hemline in the already rather briefly skirted livery of female state slaves; this morning ...	10
24	144	We were now passing along a carpeted corridor, rather more plain than many.	10

3	1	Ho-Hak The rence islands, on which the communities of rence growers dwell, are rather small, seldom more than two hundred by two hundred and fifty feet.	10
3	230	"Let us rather keep him as a miserable slave".	10
3	233	"That rightless he should serve the Growers of Rence as a beast of burden?" "Let us rather throw him to tharlarion," said the man with the headband of the pearls of the Vosk sorp.	10
3	235	"I say," said the blondish girl, "let us rather shame him and Port Kar as well.	10
4	19	Her rather thick ankles seemed to me strong and lovely, and her legs sturdy and fine.	10
5	46	Then the other girls, too, came close to me, each to taunt me, with whether or not I would not rather serve them.	10
5	100	Then the entire group came to my pole, with the exception of Ho-Hak, who went rather to speak with some men carving rence root and talking, on the other side of the island.	10
6	123	But this time I expected that her ankles would not be as though chained, her wrists as though braceleted; rather would they be truly chained and braceleted; she would wear the linked ankle rings, the three-linked slave bracelets of a Gorean master; and I did not think she would then conclude her dan...	10
6	124	Rather might she almost die with terror hoping that he would find her pleasing.	10
8	262	I recalled I had been bound rather similarly at the pole early on the day of the festival, and then, later, on the night of the festival, when she had danced her contempt of me.	10
8	470	It is rather that I know you will not throw me to tharlarion".	10
8	494	I was no longer worthy of the love of two women I had known, Talena, who had once foolishly consented to be the Free Companion of one now proved to be ignoble and coward, and Vella, Elizabeth Cardwell, once of Earth, who had mistakenly granted her love to one worthy rather only of her contempt and s...	10

10	35	It seems pertinent, however, in this instance, to state the ratios in Gorean feet, rather than translate into English measures, where the harmony of the proportions would be obscured.	10
10	55	He was rather well known now in Port Kar, having lost six barges, with their slaves and cargo, and most of his crews, in the marshes.	10
10	162	The work day of a free man in the arsenal is likely to be, on the whole, a rather leisurely one.	10
10	171	On the other hand, the wages tend to be so slight that an organization seldom has the means to mount a long strike; the arsenal can normally be patient, and can usually choose to build a ship a month from now rather than now, but one cannot well arrange to eat a month from now, and not today, or tom...	10
10	191	He had wanted to deepen the keel, to add a foremast, to change the rowing to great oars, each handled by several men, rather than one man to an oar; he had wanted even to raise the ram above the waterline.	10
10	199	Tersites had also, it might be mentioned, though he had not presented these ideas in his appearance before the council, argued for a rudder hung on the sternpost of the tarn ship, rather than the two side-hung rudders, and had championed a square rigging, as opposed to the beautiful lateen rigging c...	10
11	403	Besides, I told myself, it was still rather early to determine on which curule chairs the tarns of power might alight.	10
14	14	She has a rather straight keel, and this, with her shallow draft, even given her size, makes it possible to beach her at night, if one wishes.	10
14	56	If we suppose a trebly-banked ship with one hundred and twenty oarsmen, say, in three banks of twenty each to a side, I think we can see she would have to be a rather large ship, and a good deal heavier than the single-decked, three-men-to-a-bench type, also with one hundred and twenty oarsmen.	10
14	78	It was this latter alternative, rather expensive, which the men of Cos and Tyros had apparently, almost invariably, selected.	10
14	91	Then, rather bravely, the music drifting over the water, our oars at only half of maximum beat, we moved across the gleaming waters toward the large fleet.	10
15	733	She stood in the doorway, rather timidly.	10
16	5	"Would you not rather be my Ubar, than my Master?" she asked.	10

8	605	I think it was rather because Targo was, simply, rather pleased with the lot of us.	10
1	116	I rather enjoyed my career as a model, though it did not last more than a few weeks.	10
1	124	My most lucrative assignment was to be to model several pieces in a new line of swimwear being brought out by a rather well-known company, the name of which is, however, unimportant for purposes of this narrative.	10
1	164	It was in its way perfect, rather deep and clean.	10
2	11	I turned it slowly, carefully, because it fitted rather closely.	10
3	464	It was several hundred yards behind me, moving rather slowly.	10
4	237	Then, after a time, I seemed pressed against the side of the tube, rather cruelly, for perhaps several minutes.	10
5	98	One, rather on the bottom of the ship, was about five foot square.	10
6	132	I sensed that he might be, in his personal habits, rather fastidious.	10
6	134	Rather he seemed haggard, apprehensive.	10
6	203	It was rather strong, but in its way it seemed supple and beautiful.	10
6	207	I was frightened, because it had been the language, or rather like the language, of my chief captor, and perhaps others of his group.	10
6	211	Rather, to my surprise, even amusement, they wore at their sides small swords.	10
6	218	They looked rather frightening.	10
6	233	It was rather large.	10
6	267	They regarded me curiously, I could see, but more importantly, I had seen, to my fury, that when I received their instantaneous appraisal, that which one woman gives always to another when first they meet, as natural and unconscious as a glance, that they had, at least to their own satisfaction, fou...	10
7	35	It is rather that she may be taken from you.	10
7	67	In the "display chain" we were spaced on the chain, and the chain stretched rather taut and fastened at both ends, sometimes to trees, sometimes to two large metal screws, more than two feet in length, which screwed into the ground, beyond the reach on each end of the first and last girl.	10
7	111	The camisk is a rectangle of cloth, with a hole cut for the head, rather like a poncho.	10
7	295	Yet the major differences between them and the men of Earth are not those of size or strength, but rather those of character and psychology.	10

I did not want to be owned by a woman! But wh...	10
8	577	I was pleased, rather, indeed, thrilled, that they were men.	10
10	136	It was rather I who was owned.	10
10	296	The ship, of course, rather obviously, had not simply crashed.	10
11	103	It is rather like an inverted "T," the bar of the "T" having beveled edges.	10
11	158	These cages are heavily barred, and the bars are rather, irritatingly, widely set, but we cannot squeeze between them.	10
11	346	I was, indeed, rather pleased with my performance in general.	10
11	845	I asked myself if I should not rather try to find a hut in the forest, where there might be a slave girl, who would unbind me, and give me food.	10
11	1293	His instrument was rather like a pair of closed, long-handled pliers.	10
12	381	And I had doubtless been granted it primarily that I might be the more provocatively exhibited, and that it might provide an incentive to masters to remove it from me, and doubtless bind me for their pleasure with its very belting! No, it was I, rather, who was owned.	10
12	489	The cage itself was hung from a horizontal pole, rather like a high trophy pole.	10
12	636	Rather, men, hauling on the wagon tongues and thrusting with their shoulders, were putting the wagons in a dense square, with spaces between them.	10
13	134	If I were to go with Ute, I would surely prefer to go to an exchange island, with some of the amenities of civilization, rather than to a rude village south of the Vosk.	10
13	501	They might have been a source of protein, but rather than touch such things to my lips I would have preferred to starve! It was easier to steal meat, good bosk meat, from ignorant peasants! I lay on my back, drowsy, looking up at the bright sky between the interlaced branches canopied over my head.	10
13	661	In peasant villages there is often a horizontal pole, set in its uprights, rather like a fence railing; it is usually either about a yard from the dirt, or some seven or eight feet above the dirt.	10
13	714	But I did not want to be beaten! And then I thought, wildly, pathetically, yes, beat me, beat me, Master, impress your ownership upon me! It was not that I wanted the pain, but rather that I would then understand myself his, subject to his categorical domination, a slave at his will, mastered, owned...	10
13	981	Rather it is a great pleasure to wear your master's collar, and know that you belong to him.	10
13	1006	Rather, it is glorious to wear a collar, glorious to know that one has been found beautiful enough, and desirable enough, for a collar; how reassuring and flattering that one is such that a man would deign to collar one, that he would look upon one, and find one, that one, worthy of enslavement.	10
13	1114	Here I found I was, on the whole, rather a common girl.	10
13	1161	"I think rather," said he, "I will give you to a village of peasants".	10
14	429	Too, some seem to relish the pleasure of a surprise, rather as one might be interested in unwrapping a present and seeing if one likes it.	10
14	441	Too, Goreans tend to be rather fatalistic in some respects.	10
14	478	Thus, her capture, preferably, is not regrettable, but, rather, in its way, upon reflection, an occasion for profound satisfaction, even rejoicing; one must be pleased, even jubilant, at the fate which has befallen her; since, indeed, it was her fate, and thus it appropriately befell her; and thus i...	10
14	494	Some cities, finding her again within their walls, rather than selling her out of the city, actually prefer keeping her in the city, that she might feel her bondage the more keenly, as a kind of object lesson, for her and others.	10
15	610	She took us to that part of the camp near the horizontal pole, some nine feet high, resting across the two pairs of crossed poles, rather like a pole for hanging meat, or trophies, from.	10
15	943	I no longer regarded such behavior as clever, but now, rather, as unworthy or stupid, whether one was caught or not.	10
16	257	Rather, terrified docility was her mien.	10
17	80	I think, rather, he feared himself, and unusual emotions, strange, unaccustomed emotions, frightening him, which might have begun to well within him.	10
17	117	At such times I could not engage him in tender discourse; rather, I would crawl to him, a needful slave, weeping, and beg him for chains and cords, even the whip; I must know myself uncompromisingly owned; how perdurable and encompassing, how totalistic, is the sexuality of the female slave! It suff...	10
